In this section we have the ability to apply velocity dynamics and aftertouch to a number of parameters. Whenever velocity is assigned to a parameter you will see a yellow corona appear on the associated parameter’s knob

Velocity to Filter Frequency Knob

Causes the filter cutoff frequency to increase or decrease depending on how hard the keyboard is played. When turned to the left the filter cutoff frequency decreases and when turned to the right it increases.

Velocity to Filter Mode Knob

This control is used in conjunction with the SEM FILTER MODE Knob and allows you to change the position between the Low-Pass and High-Pass modes according to how hard you play your controller keyboard. When Low-Pass mode is selected, only positive values to the right of 12 o’clock will have an effect. Conversely, when High-Pass mode is selected only negative values to the left of 12 o’clock will have an effect. When the FILTER MODE Knob is set to Notch (i.e. more central) settings to the left and right of 12 o’clock will have an effect on the sound.

<aside> ⚠️ The Velocity to Filter Mode Knob has no effect when Band-Pass Filter mode is selected.

Velocity to Resonance Knob

With a zero position of 12 o’clock, this knob allows velocity control over resonance in conjunction with the VCF Resonance Knob. When turned to the left, the harder you play the keyboard the less resonance will be applied. When turned to the right, the amount of resonance increases according to how hard any notes are played.

Velocity to VCO 1 Waveform Level Knob

Applies velocity to either the Sawtooth or Pulse waveform level of VCO 1. When turned to the left, the harder you play the keyboard the more level will be applied to the VCO 1 Sawtooth. When turned to the right, the level of the Pulse Waveform increases according to how hard any notes are played. As with all other velocity controls, it should be used in conjunction with the main VCO 1 Waveform Level Knob. To indicate the degree of velocity control applied to the main control, a yellow corona will be seen on the main control knob.

Velocity to VCO 2 Waveform Level Knob

Applies velocity to either the Sawtooth or Pulse waveform level of VCO 2. When turned to the left, the harder you play the keyboard the more level will be applied to the VCO 2 Sawtooth. When turned to the right, the level of VCO2’s Pulse Waveform increases according to how hard notes are played. As with all other velocity controls, it should be used in conjunction with the main VCO 2 Waveform Level Knob. To indicate the degree of velocity control applied to the main control, a yellow corona will be seen on the main control knob.

Velocity to VCO 3 Waveform Level Knob

Applies velocity to either the waveform or noise level of VCO 3. When turned to the left, the harder you play the keyboard the more level will be applied to the selected VCO 3 waveform. When turned to the right, the level of VCO 3’s Pink Noise increases according to how hard notes are played.

As with all other velocity controls, it should be used in conjunction with the main VCO 3 Waveform Level Knob. To indicate the degree of velocity control applied to the main control, a yellow corona will be seen on the main control knob.

Velocity to VCO 1 Modulation Amount Knob

Applies velocity to modulation of either VCO 1’s frequency modulation parameter or pulse width setting. When turned to the left, the harder you play the keyboard the more pitch modulation will be applied in direct correlation to the yellow corona indicated inside the VCO 1 Modulation Knob. When turned to the right, the harder you play the more Pulse Width will be applied in direct correlation to the yellow corona indicated inside the VCO 1 Modulation Knob.

<aside> ⚠️ The results of this are also dependent on the settings of the VCO1 Modulation Source Switch on the front panel.
